The ground-state properties of two-component repulsive Fermi gases in two dimensions are investigated by means of fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. The energy per particle is determined as a function of the intercomponent…
Mg$_2$IrH$_6$ is a metastable complex metal hydride with a predicted superconducting transition temperature as high as 170 K at ambient pressure. Following the synthesis of isomorphic, insulating Mg$_2$IrH$_5$ at low pressure,…
We study a two-dimensional fluid of dipolar hard disks by Monte Carlo simulations in a square with periodic boundary conditions and on the surface of a sphere. The theory of the dielectric constant and the asymptotic behaviour of the…
The stability of MgH$_2$ has been studied up to 20~GPa using density-functional total-energy calculations. At ambient pressure $\alpha$-MgH${_2}$ takes a TiO$_2$-rutile-type structure. $\alpha$-MgH$_2$ is predicted to transform into…
Recent technical advances in dealing with finite-size errors make quantum Monte Carlo methods quite appealing for treating extended systems in electronic structure calculations, especially when commonly-used density functional theory (DFT)…
The experimental realization of a thin layer of spin-polarized hydrogen adsorbed on top of the surface of superfluid 4He provides one of the best examples of a stable nearly two-dimensional quantum Bose gas. We report a theoretical study of…
A quantum Monte Carlo approach, considering all the corrugation effects, was used to calculate the complete phase diagram of the second $^3$He layer adsorbed on graphite. We found that a first-layer triangular solid was in equilibrium with…
A first-order liquid-liquid phase transition in high-pressure hydrogen between molecular and atomic fluid phases has been predicted in computer simulations using ab initio molecular dynamics approaches. However, experiments indicate that…
The possibility of superconductivity (SC) in the 2D Hubbard model (2DH) was investigated by means of the variational Monte Carlo method. The energy gain of the d-wave SC state, obtained as the difference of the minimum energy with a finite…
The possibility that disorder may stabilize a superfluid phase of para-hydrogen in two dimensions is investigated theoretically by means of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We model disorder using a random distribution of scatterers, and…
We have developed a path integral Monte Carlo method for simulating helium films and apply it to the second layer of helium adsorbed on graphite. We use helium-helium and helium-graphite interactions that are found from potentials which…
The effects of pressure on the crystal structure of the three known polymorphs of magnesium sulfate have been theoretically study by means of DFT calculations up to 45 GPa. We determined that at ambient conditions gamma MgSO4 is an unstable…
The phase diagram of a para-H2 monolayer absorbed on a experimentally syntetized amorphous carbon sheet was calculated using a diffusion Monte Carlo technique. We found that the ground state of that system changed drastically from a…
In this paper the Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is applied to the confined hydrogen atom with different confinement geometries. This approach is validated using the much studied spherical and cylindrical confinements and then applied…
The binding energies of two-dimensional clusters (puddles) of $^4$He are calculated in the framework of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The results are very well fitted by a mass formula in powers of $x=N^{-1/2}$, where $N$ is the number…
The phase diagram of hydrogen is one of the most important challenges in high-pressure physics and astrophysics. Especially, the melting of dense hydrogen is complicated by dimer dissociation, metallization and nuclear quantum effect of…
We use a diffusion Monte Carlo method to calculate the lowest energy state of a uniform gas of bosons interacting through different model potentials, both strictly repulsive and with an attractive well. We explicitly verify that at low…
We present a comprehensive first--principles study of the structural stability and superconducting behavior of Li$_2$PdH$_2$ under high pressure. Using random structure searching and phonon calculations, we identify a pressure--induced…
The phase diagram of the first layer of H$_2$ adsorbed on top of a single graphene sheet has been calculated by means of a series of diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations. We have found that, as in the case of $^4$He, the ground state of…
Evolutionary algorithms and the particle swarm optimization method have been used to predict stable and metastable high hydrides of iron between 150-300 GPa that have not been discussed in previous studies. Cmca FeH5, Pmma FeH6 and P2/c…
